DGCA suspends Air India’s safety in-charge over fabricated inspection reports

The Hindu  

The aviation safety watchdog, Directorate General of Civil Aviation, has suspended Air India’s Chief of Flight Safety following lapses discovered in aspects such as accident prevention that included fabricated reports of internal inspections carried out by the airline. The DGCA has suspended Captain Rajeev Gupta from the role of Air India’s Chief of Flight Safety for a period of one month, it said in a press statement. The regulator has also ordered Air India to take action against an unnamed auditor involved in the lapses and has raised concerns over shortage of requisite technical man power in the airline. The DGCA action follows an inspection it carried out at Air India’s headquarters in Gurgaon on July 25 and 26 when it unraveled fabricated reports for all 13 safety checkpoints it inspected randomly across various operational domains such as cabin surveillance, cargo, ramp and load management.
